He looked to be in his thirties, with a handsome and elegant appearance, but the faint sense of malevolence between his brows gave him a cold and aloof air.
After revealing his true appearance, the old man on the deck looked at Chu Qinghe and slowly said, "I do not believe that I displayed any martial arts of the Murong family just now. How did you see through my identity, young friend?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe gently fanned himself with his folding fan and slowly said, "I didn't understand before, but I do now."
Old man: ??????
Jellyfish Yin Princess and the other girls: "??????"
Clearly, from Chu Qinghe's words, the group understood that Chu Qinghe had no idea of the old man's identity and was just trying to trick him.
Facing the old man with slightly narrowed eyes, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "There are only a handful of experts in the Celestial Realm in the Great Song Dynasty. Ordinary experts in the Celestial Realm are nothing more than a third-rate force in the martial arts world. Even Yun Zhonghe would have a hard time dealing with them, let alone experts in the Celestial Realm and martial artists in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm."
"Naturally, the fact that the two of them are dressed in black and masked to conceal their true appearance is rather intriguing."
"Given your strength, if you're not afraid of Madam Wang, you naturally don't want to be recognized by her. So, it's not unreasonable for me to casually test you by calling myself 'Murong,' is it?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, the old man couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"What a cunning little rascal."
Murong Longcheng hadn't expected that Chu Qinghe, who looked so young, would be so shrewd and daring.
If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't dare to draw such a conclusion so easily without solid evidence.
But Chu Qinghe is doing well.
Once she had an idea in mind, she immediately chose to trick him into revealing his identity in this way.
While Murong Longcheng remained silent, after understanding the identities of the two people on the deck, Xiao Zhao nudged Qu Feiyan beside her and asked in confusion, "Didn't Yun Zhonghe say that this guy had left? Why is he still here?"
When Xiao Zhao asked her question, Qu Feiyan, with one hand supporting her elbow and the other touching her chin, also looked puzzled.
According to what Yun Zhonghe said earlier, they came to Mantuo Manor to kidnap people after seeing Murong Fu leave this morning.
According to what Chu Qinghe just said, Murong Fu and the masked man in black beside him had been following them ever since they left Mantuo Manor.
In other words, the two of them were already inside the Mantuo Manor before.
Even Qu Feiyan was somewhat bewildered by this situation.
A few breaths later, Shui Mu Yin Ji seemed to have thought of something and said, "Interesting. Judging from this, Yun Zhonghe was deliberately let into Mantuo Manor?"
Upon hearing what Jellyfish Yin Ji said, Qu Feiyan, who had been looking puzzled, seemed to realize something and immediately understood.
Immediately afterwards, when he looked at Murong Fu and the masked man in black opposite him, he couldn't help but show obvious disgust on his face.
Not only Qu Feiyan, but the other women next to her also realized what had happened and understood the cause and effect.
Immediately, the others looked at Murong Fu and the other man on the deck with disdain.
Upon seeing the gazes of the group, Murong Fu's expression darkened.
In this world, no man would feel comfortable being looked at with such disdain and contempt by several stunningly beautiful women.
After a brief silence, Murong Longcheng on the deck slowly said, "Compared to the two Palace Masters of the Flower Palace, I am more curious about this young friend."
"To be able to reach the early stage of the Grandmaster realm at such a young age, and to have two Palace Masters of the Yihua Palace by your side, you don't seem like an unknown person at all. This Zhao Shanhe is probably just an alias, isn't he?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "Senior Murong is very insightful. My name is indeed fake."
Hearing Chu Qinghe address him in that way, Murong Longcheng's eyes flickered slightly.
"Oh? May I ask your name, young friend?"
However, in response to Murong Longcheng's question, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "Since I am using a pseudonym, I do not want outsiders to know my true identity. Why does Senior Murong need to ask further?"
"Oh!"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Murong Longcheng sneered inwardly.
He and Murong Fu had just been masked, but Chu Qinghe still managed to expose his identity.
Now you're saying things like this? Are you trying to fool someone?
Faced with Chu Qinghe's double standards, Murong Longcheng asked, "Young friend, are you really unwilling to tell me?"
But this time, as Murong Longcheng spoke, the true essence within his body slowly began to circulate.
As his true essence circulated, waves of energy surged around him, causing Murong Longcheng's clothes to rustle loudly.
Don't make the threat sound too strong.
Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly as he observed Murong Longcheng's reaction.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Jellyfish Yin Ji, "You haven't fought against a Celestial Realm martial artist before, would you like to have a go and experience it?"
Upon hearing this, Shuimu Yinji, who understood Chu Qinghe's meaning, smiled and said, "Alright!"
Taking in the confident and calm expressions of Chu Qinghe and the others, Murong Longcheng on the deck turned his head slightly.
From the beginning until now, what has intrigued Murong Longcheng is the demeanor of Chu Qinghe and his companions.
From beginning to end, he was too confident and indifferent.
He was so indifferent that it was as if he didn't care about himself at all.
This strange confidence made Murong Longcheng feel a vague unease.
However, before Murong Longcheng could think further, Shuimu Yinji lightly braced herself against the armrest of the chair beneath her and then rushed towards Murong Longcheng.
